Updating the manifest this way was not a great idea because it broke abstraction for the object. This meant certain changes to the interface and internals were not possible because the code was modifying internal manifest data.
Instead track the user replacements entirely in the restore module.
This also has the benefit of eliminating a pass over the manifest path/file/link lists.
AWS S3 integrates with AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) to provide server side encryption of S3 objects. This integration protects objects under encryption keys that never leave AWS KMS unencrypted.
The range feature allows reading out an arbitrary chunk of a file and will be important for efficient small file support.
Now that all drivers are required to support ranges remove the storageFeatureLimitRead feature flag that was implemented only by the Posix driver.
Do the replacement anywhere cfgOptionGroupIdxToKey() is being used to construct a group name in a message. cfgOptionGroupName() is better for this case since it also includes the name of the group so that it does not need to be repeated in each message.
The backup LSNs are useful for performing LSN-based PITR. LSNs will not be displayed in the general text output (without --set) because they are probably not useful enough to deserve their own line.
There is no evidence that users need 8.3/8.4 anymore but it does cost us in terms of development and testing, especially now that we have a number of new backup/restore features planned.
It seems to make sense to remove this support now. If there are users who need to use/migrate from these versions they can use an older version of pgBackRest.

Utilize httpUrlNewParseP() to parse endpoint and port from the URL in the S3 and Azure helpers to avoid issues where protocol was not expected to be part of the URL.
This leak was caused by the file descriptor variable getting clobbered after a long jump. Mark it as volatile to fix.
Testing this is a bit complex because the issue only happens in optimized builds, if at all. Put the test into the performance suite, which is always optimized, until a better idea presents itself.
If a path/file was remapped to a link using either --link-map or --link-all there would be no affect if the path/file already existed. If a link existed it would be properly updated and converting a link to a path/file also worked.
The issue happened during delta cleanup, which failed to check if the existing path/file had been remapped to a link.
Add checks for newly mapped path/file links and remove the old path/file we required.
This was previously a warning but the warning is easy to miss so a lot of time may be lost restoring and recovering a backup that will not hit the target.
Since this is technically a breaking change, add an "important note" about the change to the release.
In the backup command, add a warning if start-fast is disabled and the PostgreSQL checkpoint_timeout is greater than db-timeout.
In such cases, we might timeout before the checkpoint occurs and the backup really starts.
Fail the backup if a cluster stops or the standby is promoted. Previously, shutting down the primary would cause an error but it was not detected until the end of the backup. Now the error will happen sooner and a promotion on the standby will also cause an error.
SIGHUP allows the configuration to be reloaded. Note that the configuration will not be updated in child processes that have already started.
SIGTERM terminates the server process gracefully and sends SIGTERM to all child processes. This also gives the tests an easy way to stop the server.
Add the following checks:
* Checkpoint is updated in pg_control after pg_start_backup(). This helps ensure that PostgreSQL and pgBackRest have a consistent view of the storage and that PGDATA paths match.
* Timeline of backup start WAL file matches pg_control. Hard to see how this one could get hit, but we have the power...
* Standby is on the same timeline as the primary. If not, this standby is not following the primary.
* Last standby checkpoint is not greater than the backup checkpoint. If so, this standby is not following the primary.
This also requires some additional plumbing to read/write timeline/checkpoint from pg_control and parse timelines from WAL filenames. There were some changes in the backup tests caused by the fact that pg_control now has different contents for each backup.
The check to ensure that the required checkpoint was reached on the standby should also be updated to use pg_control (it currently uses pg_control_checkpoint()), but that requires non-trivial changes to the test harness and will need to wait.
Eliminate summing and passing of copied files sizes for logging backup size.
Instead, utilize infoBackupDataByLabel() to pull the backup size for the log message.
This allows boolean boolean command-line options to work like their config file equivalents.
At least for now this behavior will remain undocumented since all examples in the documentation will continue to use the standard syntax. The idea is that it will "just work" when options are copied out of config files rather than generating an error.
Previously the archive was only checked at the end of the backup to ensure all WAL required to make the backup consistent was present. The problem was that if archiving was not functioning then the backup had to complete before the user found out, which could be a while if the database was large enough.
Add an archive check immediately after backup start so failures are reported earlier.
The trick is to determine which WAL to check. If the repo is new there may not be any WAL in it and pg_start_backup() will not switch the WAL segment if it is empty. These are both likely scenarios when setting up and/or testing pgBackRest.
If the WAL segment is switched by pg_start_backup(), then check the archive for the segment that was detected prior to backup start. This should be common on normal running clusters with regular activity. Note that this might not be the segment immediately prior to the backup start segment if WAL volume is high.
If pg_start_backup() did not switch the WAL then we can force a switch on PostgreSQL >= 9.3 by creating a restore point. In that case the WAL to check will be the backup start WAL. This is most likely to happen on idle systems, during testing, or immediately after a repo switch.
An advantage of this approach other than earlier notification is that the backup directory will not be created so no resume will be attempted on the next backup.
Note that some additional churn was created in backup.c because the load of archive.info needs to be done earlier.
Properly log the size of files copied during the backup, matching the backup size returned from the info command.
In the reference issue, the incremental backup after switchover logs the size of all files evaluated rather than only the size of the files copied in the backup.
Size option default and allowed values were displayed in bytes, which was confusing for the user.
This also lays the groundwork for adding units to time options.
Move option parsing functions into a common module so they can be used from the build module.
Allows users to provide an executable to be used when pgbackrest generates command strings that expect to invoke pgbackrest. These generated commands are written to files by pgbackrest, e.g. recovery.conf.
The error handler used a loop to process try, catch, and finally blocks. This worked fine but static analysis tools like Coverity did not understand that the finally block would always run and so there were false positives about double-free, unfreed resource, etc.
This implementation removes the loop, which simplifies everything, and makes it clear that the finally block will always run. This cuts down on Coverity false positives.
This implementation also catches lack of coverage on empty catch blocks so a few test fixes were committed separately in d74fe7a.
A small refactor in backup.c is required because gcc 10.3.1 on Fedora 33 complains that the reason variable may be used uninitialized. It's not clear why this is the case, but reducing the scope of the TRY block fixes the issue.
Rather the converting String to StringIds at runtime, store defaults in StringId format in parse.auto.c and convert user input to StringId during parsing.
The compress-type, repo-type and log-level-* options have allow lists, which means it is more efficient to treat them as StringIds.
For compress-type and log-level-* also update the functions that convert them to enums.
The strIdFrom*() forced the caller to pick an encoding, which led to a number of TRY...CATCH blocks in the code. In practice the caller does not care which encoding is used as long as the string is valid for some encoding.
Update the strIdFrom*() function to try all possible encodings and only throw an error when the string is not valid for any of them.

The new rendering behavior is correct in normal cases, but for the pre-rendered HTML blocks in the command and configuration references it causes a lot of churn. This would be OK if the new HTML was diff-able, but it is not.
Go back to the old behavior of using br tags for this case to reduce churn until a more permanent solution is found.
Since CentOS 8 will be EOL at the end of the year it makes sense to do this now. The centos:8 image is still used in documentation.xml because changes there require manual testing, which will need to be done at a later date. The changes are not user-facing, however, and can be done at any time.
Also update CentOS references to RHEL since that is what we are emulating for testing purposes.
This is mostly to revert some comment changes in b11ab9f7 that will break the ppc64le patch, but at the same time keep the spelling consistent in all comments and documentation.
Also revert some space changes for the same reason.
Azurite released another breaking change (see fbd018cd, 096829b3, c38d6926, and Azurite issue 1039) so make adjustments as needed to documentation and tests.
Also remove some dead code that hid the repo-storage-host option and was made obsolete by all these changes.
Checking the return value is not terribly important here, but if setsockopt() fails it is likely that bind() will fail as well. May as well get it over with and this makes Coverity happy.
3879bc69 added this call and the parameters were not quite right but in way that the compiler decided they were OK. It was mostly working but TLS verification was disabled if caPath was NULL, which is not OK.
The variants were needed to easily serialize configurations for the Perl code.
Unions are more efficient and will allow us to add new types that are not supported by variants, e.g. StringId.
The text indicates to populate the pg-primary IP address into the pg_hba.conf file to allow replication connections. It should indicate to populate the pg-standby IP address
It is not uncommon for the S3/Azure emulators we use to introduce breaking changes without warning. If that happens the documentation can still be built by specifying a working version of the image. In general, it is better to let the version float so we know when things break.
Azurite has yet another breaking change coming up (see 096829b3, c38d6926, and Azurite issue 1039) so set azure-image at the current version until the breaking change has been released.
The TLS server is an alternative to using SSH for protocol connections to remote hosts.
This command is currently experimental and intended only for trial and testing. As such, the new commands and options will not show up in the command-line help unless directly requested.
On some platforms the output may contain UTF-8 characters that the latex code is not prepared to handle.
Showing the command is much more important than showing the output, so no big loss.
A stanza name like global_stanza was not allowed because the code was not selective enough about how a global section should be formatted.
Update the config parser to correctly recognize global sections.
Currently link-map only allows links that exist in the backup manifest to be remapped to a new destination.
Allow link-map to create a new link as long as a valid path/file from the backup is referenced.
The local process will retry jobs (e.g. backup file) but after a certain number of failures gives up. Previously, the last error was reported but generally the first error is far more valuable. The last error is likely to be a cascade failure such as the protocol being out of sync.
Report the first error (and stack trace) and append the retry errors to the first error without stack trace information.
Currently errors found during the backup are only available in text output when specifying --set.
Add a flag to backup.info that is available in both the text and json output when --set is not specified. This at least provides the basic info that an error was found in the cluster during the backup, though details are still only available as described above.
Valgrind complained about uninitialized values on arm64 when comparing the reset prefix, probably because "reset" ended up being larger than the option name: Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s) at cfgParseOption (parse.c:568).
Coverity complained because it could not verify the size of the string to be copied into optionName, probably because it does not understand the purpose of strSize(): You might overrun the 65-character fixed-size string "optionName" by copying the return value of "strZ" without checking the length.
Use strncpy() even though we have already checked the size and make sure the string is terminated. Keep the size check because searching for truncated option names is not a good idea.
This is not a production bug since the code has not been released yet.
"error list" makes it clearer that other errors may be reported. For example, if checksum-page is true in the manifest but no checksum-page-error list is provided then the error is in alignment, i.e. the file size is not a multiple of the page size, with allowances made for a valid-looking partial page at the end of the file.
It is still not possible to differentiate between alignment and page checksum errors in the output but this will be addressed in a future commit.
Azurite introduced a breaking change in 8f63964e to use automatically host-style URIs when the endpoint appears to be a multipart hostname.
This option allows the user to configure which style URI will be used, but changing the endpoint might cause breakage if Azurite decides to use a different style. Future changes to Azurite may also cause breakage.
Command-line help is now generated at build time so it does not need to be committed. This reduces churn on commits that add configuration and/or update the help.
Since churn is no longer an issue, help.auto.c is bzip2 compressed to save space in the binary.
The Perl config parser (Data.pm) has been moved to doc/lib since the Perl build path is no longer required.
Likewise doc/xml/reference.xml has been moved to src/build/help/help.xml since it is required at build time.
Linefeeds were originally used in the place of <p> tags to denote a paragraph. While much of the linefeed usage has been replaced over time, there were many places where it was still being used, especially in reference.xml. This made it difficult to get consistent formatting across different output types. In particular there were formatting issues in the command-line help because it is harder to audit than HTML or PDF.
Replace linefeed formatting with proper <p> tags to make formatting more consistent.
Remove double spaces in all text where <p> tags were added since it does not add churn.
Update all <ul>/<ol>/<li> tags to the more general <list>/<list-item> tags.
Add a few missing periods.
The primary benefit is that objects can allocate memory for their struct with the context, which saves an additional allocation and makes it easier to read context/allocation dumps. Also, the memory context does not need to be stored with the object since it can be determined using the object pointer.
Object pointers cannot be moved, so this means whatever additional memory is allocated cannot be resized. That makes the additional memory ideal for object structs, but not so much for allocating a list that might change size.
Mem contexts can no longer be reused since they will probably be the wrong size so their memory is freed on memContextFree(). This still means fewer allocations and frees overall.
Interfaces still need to be freed by mem context so the old objMove() and objFree() have been preserved as objMoveContext() and objFreeContext(). This will be addressed in a future commit.
The prior limitations were based on using getopt_long() to parse command-line options, which required a static list of allowed options. Setting index max too high bloated the binary unacceptably. 45a4e80 replaced the functionality of getopt_long() but the static list remained.
Improve cfgParseOption() to use available option data and remove the need for a static list. This also allows the option deprecations to be represented more compactly.
Index max is still capped at 256 because a large enough index could cause parseOptionIdxValue() to run out of memory since it allocates a static list based on the highest index found. If that function were improved with a map of found index values then index max could be set to UINT64_MAX.
Note that deprecations no longer set an index max or define whether reset is valid. These were space-saving measures which are no longer required. This means that indexed deprecated options will also be valid up to 256 and always allow reset, but it doesn't seem worth additional code to limit this behavior.
cfgParseOptionId() is no longer needed because calling cfgParseOption() with .ignoreMissingIndex = true duplicates the functionality of cfgParseOptionId(). This leads to some simplification in the help code.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The log level for copied files in the backup/restore commands has been changed to detail. This makes the info log level less noisy but if these messages are required then set the log level for the backup/restore commands to detail.

This eliminates repetition of the build path so it can be changed more easily.
Also create the build path explicitly rather than suggest that the user do it.
The standby memory was set to 1024mb in 86a651f9 to compensate for a memory leak in restore. The leak has been fixed (or at least mitigated) in e1e6e475 and 4fb6384f so the memory can be reduced to 512mb, the same as the primary.
Either of these temp mem context blocks fixes the issue of command packs not being freed, but it seems like a good idea to have both in case the code changes.
This is intended to provide pre-release stress-testing. Include container memory limits to help check for memory leaks.
Also add parallelism to make for faster builds.
The backup size was a bit off because it did not include any files (e.g. backup_label, WAL files) that were added to the manifest after the main copy. To fix this move the log message to the very end of the backup.
Add size/file total log message to restore since it did not exist before.
Remove the "Automatic Stop Option" section since it only applies to PostgreSQL <= 9.6, which will soon be EOL. Since we no longer build the user guide for PostgreSQL < 10 this section was no longer being tested. The stop-auto option is still documented in the reference.
Move the "Fast Start Option" to "Quick Start - Perform Backup". This is a commonly-used option so it makes sense to mention it earlier. This also makes the backups run more quickly. In the worst case, backups in "Quick Start - Perform Backup" could take minutes to start
Move the "Archive Timeout" section to "Quick Start - Perform Backup" since it is the last section in "Backup".
The user and group were stored in a temp reset mem context so they could get freed if there were enough files to trigger the reset in storageRemoteInfoList().
Allocate user and group in a mem context provided by the caller to prevent them being freed prematurely.
Removed colon from example titles to fix links, fixed test.yml link, and updated the example for the parent/child test process to use the latest macros instead of sleep().
Additional buffers were being allocated for the protocol messages but not being freed.
Most of the allocations were fairly harness, but storageRemoteOpenReadProtocol() and storageWriteRemote() were problematic because they were allocating (but not freeing) buffers equal to the transfer size of the file. Depending on compression, this could be a lot of memory. Though the memory was freed after each file transfer the aggregate of memory used during parallel processing could overwhelm systems with constrained memory.
Also allocate larger initial buffers in storageRemoteOpenReadProtocol() and storageWriteRemote() so a reallocation is not needed.
This makes the generated HTML much more readable in diffs because a single word change will not change a line with potentially many tags.
The output is now slightly larger because of the extra linefeeds.
Options for other repos can cause conflicts and should never be used. Each remote can address exactly one repo or pg cluster.
Also fix an outdated comment.
pg1 was incorrectly used instead of {[host-pg1]} which meant the wrong host name was displayed.
Also, the install block was installing packages to the build host no matter which host was specified.
This file duplicated the command list that already exists in parse.auto.c.
Combine the data from config.auto.c into parse.auto.c and adjust the interface functions as needed. Quite a few were able to be moved to parse.c as static.
If the test path is inside the repo path then it can cause strange issues during testing because the entire repo path is duplicated into the test path so that all tests see a consistent view of the repo.
Another solution might be to pick a better test path name and exclude it from the rsync, but this fix at least addresses the immediate issue.
The storage tests were not modified to the HRN_STORAGE_* nor TEST_STORAGE_* macros as these test are testing the storage drivers.
Note that posixTest.c removed an extraneous #endif // TEST_CONTAINER_REQUIRED and #ifdef TEST_CONTAINER_REQUIRED.
This PR includes all files in the storage/* test directory, namely: azureTest.c, cifsTest.c, gcsTest.c, posixTest.c, remoteTest.c, s3Test.c
--smart is now the default mode. Since --dev is now just an alias for --no-optimize, remove it. --dev-test has been a noop for a while, so this seems like a good time to remove it.
Also make the C auto-generator skip writing files that have not changed to avoid updating the timestamp.
Note that the logging output display of a parent/child test may look jumbled on some systems since the child and parent are attempting to log information at the same time. This is not an issue with the actual test, rather a harness issue that would be beyond the scope of this project to fix.
Parse enough of config.yaml to auto-generate config.auto.h and config.auto.c.
This commit implements most of the infrastructure needed to migrate the rest of the build code to C, but each set of auto-generated files will present its own challenges.
The build is now dependent on libyaml. At this point there is no need for a hard requirement, but that will come soon so it seems better to add the dependency now.
Update Ubuntu 12.04 to 16.04. Version 16.04 is recently EOL but testing on an old version is beneficial.
Update Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04.
Update Fedora 32 to 33. Version 34 would have been preferred but there were some build issues, i.e. the default shell did not work with configure, and after ksh was installed configure locked up.
Add --no-install-recommends to apt-get commands to save a bit of time and space.
Update test Dockerfile to run in multiple steps. This makes the container larger but also makes rebuilding after changes faster. The --squash option may be used to keep the container small.
Remove obsolete casts in protocol/parallel module. These casts were included in the original migration because Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit gcc required them, but Ubuntu 16.04 32-bit gcc complains. There is no production issue here since at this point in the code the file descriptors are guaranteed to be >= 0.
In the first test (helpRenderSplitSize) added test for empty list and in that and some other tests, the test comment was updated to clarify a bit more what the actual tests is trying to accomplish.
Note that help test parameters can only use the harnessConfig system when testing option values that have been set since options passed to the help command are not "set" options.
Includes backup and backupCommon tests.
Some tests in backupTest were split out where they were originally combined into a single boolean check - which made it difficult to determine which part of the conditional failed.
String values were also removed where they were no longer needed.
It is possible for the checkpoint LSN to lag slightly behind the replay LSN until pg_control has been updated.
Add a loop to keep checking rather than failing when the checkpoint LSN has not been updated.
Simplify HRN_FORK_CHILD_BEGIN() by adding optional parameters with the common defaults.
Add _FD() to macros that retrieve file descriptors to make their purpose clearer.
The log level for copied files in the backup/restore commands has been changed to detail. This makes the info log level less noisy but if these messages are required then set the log level for the backup/restore commands to detail.
In the commandTest the HRN_STORAGE_REMOVE replacement uses .errorOnMissing when the code being tested added the file. The reason for this is 3 fold:
1. to ensure that an inadvertent typo in the path/file name does not go undetected,
2. to ensure that nothing else has removed the file prior to the call, and
3. consistency
Also, added "stanza" to comment when a stanza stop file is removed vs an "all" stop file.
Multi-part upload may fail despite returning an HTTP success code. Check for the ETag field in the result and if not present consider the upload to have failed. This will trigger a retry at the local job level.
Links were followed before they were checked for validity so a circular link would send the manifest build into endless recursion leading to a crash. Fix by moving the recursion after the link check.
Note that this issue has existed since the C migration and was not introduced by the refactor in eba013b.
Data directory creation was added during the C migration, but creation of the base data directory (PGDATA) was prevented by a check migrated from Perl.
Remove the check and update tests to create the data directory at least once.
Includes archiveCommon, archiveGet and archivePush.
Also fixed a test that was looking in repo instead of repo3 in the original archivePush to use the repo3 path as stated by the comment (line 879 in original tests and line 855 in new tests).
It seems better to use TEST_PATH in combination with a constant string rather than have a number of different path constants. This improves readability and reduces confusion about which constant should be used.
For tests already updated as part of the macro-replacement effort, the output tests (TEST_ERROR, TEST_RESULT_LOG, TEST_STORAGE_LIST and TEST_RESULT_STR) have been simplified for readability to remove all but the TEST_PATH constants. The ongoing macro-replacement effort will include these changes.
Updated: expireTest, stanzaTest, checkTest, infoTest, verifyTest (infoArchive and infoBackup had no changes).
Switch from JSON-based to binary protocol for communicating with local and remote process. The pack type is used to implement the binary protocol.
There are a number advantages:
* The pack type is more compact than JSON and are more efficient to render/parse.
* Packs are more strictly typed than JSON.
* Each protocol message is written entirely within ProtocolServer/ProtocolClient so is less likely to get interrupted by an error and leave the protocol in a bad state.
* There is no limit on message size. Previously this was limited by buffer size without a custom implementation, as was done for read/writing files.
Some cruft from the Perl days was removed, specifically allowing NULL messages and stack traces. This is no longer possible in C.
There is room for improvement here, in particular locking down the allowed sequence of protocol messages and building a state machine to enforce it. This will be useful for resetting the protocol when it gets in a bad state.
Some tests had to be reordered or updated, as follows:
* Reordered tests at line 317 and 331 to avoid unnecessary file removal.
* Change "stanza found" test at line 1735 to reflect real-life scenario. Originally this test had the cipher-pass environment key set up which caused the RepoGrp to be 2 but with no valid repo path. This resulted in the repo loops executing for the repo2 but since the path was not defined, the tests just reported "none" for cipher which is incorrect since the repo IS encrypted.
* Moved order of HRN_CFG_LOAD in some tests when able to avoid using storageTest.
It is better to clear errors after the catch block completes rather than leave them set until the next error. This also make is possible to tell when a error is currently being handled, which a function further down the stack might use to modify its behavior. Currently this is only useful in testing, but clearing the error seems like a good idea in general.
Two places used errors outside the CATCH() block. Mem context cleanup now uses a FINALLY() which is a better implementation anyway. The error handling in main() now calls exitSafe() from withing the CATCH() block.
Since the pack type was stored in 4 bits, only 15 values were allowed (0 was reserved).
Allow virtually unlimited types by storing type info in a base-128 encoded integer following the tag when the type bits in the tag are set to 0xF.
Also separate the type IDs used in the pack (PackTypeMap) from those presented to the user (PackType). The prior PackType enum exposed implementation details to the user, e.g. pckTypeUnknown.

HRN_CFG_LOAD() handles the majority of test configuration loads and has various options for special cases.
It was not clear when to use harnessCfgLoadRaw() vs harnessCfgLoad(). Now "raw" functionality is granular and enabled by parameters, e.g. noStd.
The default is to keep all backup history to match the current behavior. In minimal configuration (0 days), unexpired backups are always kept in history.
When a full backup manifest expires, all dependent differential/incremental manifests expire as well.
This allows protocolRemoteExec() to be shimmed, which means the remote can be run as a child of the test process, simplifying coverage testing.
The shim does not need SSH parameters, so also split those out into a separate function and update the tests to match.
Add executable to parameter list to avoid first option being lost. The backup, restore, and verify tests worked OK with their first option being defaulted because it ended up being job-retry which worked fine as the default.
Add hrnProtocolLocalShimUninstall() allow the shim to be uninstalled.
Log shim at debug level to make it obvious in the logs when a shim is in use.
There are no code changes from PostgreSQL 13 so simply add the new version.
Add CATALOG_VERSION_NO_MAX to allow the catalog version to "float" during the PostgreSQL beta/rc period so new pgBackRest versions are not required when the catalog version changes.
Update the integration tests to handle new PostgreSQL startup messages.
manifestLinkCheck() was pretty inefficient so large numbers of links caused it to use a lot of memory and eventually crash. This is a more efficient implementation which runs O(nlogn) and uses far less memory.
Checking for duplicate file links has been added, which represents a change in behavior, but hopefully a good one.
The user guide was split primarily to provide documentation for the stop-auto option in PostgreSQL <= 9.5. Now that 9.5 is EOL there does not seem to be a good reason to generate an extra user guide. The stop-auto function is still documented in the reference.
Leave the stop-auto documentation in the user guide in case we want to manually generate documentation for older versions.
Also rename centos to rhel for most identifiers since that is the core platform we are building for, similar to how we label 'debian' builds even though we generally use Ubuntu. With CentOS set to become an upstream for RHEL later this year, we'll likely need to pick a new test distribution, perhaps Rocky Linux if that gets off the ground.
Replace all instances of strNew("") with strNew() and use strNewZ() for non-empty zero-terminated strings. Besides saving a useless parameter, this will allow smarter memory allocation in a future commit by signaling intent, in general, to append or not.
In the tests use STRDEF() or VARSTRDEF() where more appropriate rather than blindly replacing with strNewZ(). Also replace strLstAdd() with strLstAddZ() where appropriate for the same reason.
Run the local process inside a forked child process instead of exec'ing it. This allows coverage to accumulate in the local process rather than needing to test the local protocol functions directly, resulting in better end-to-end testing and less test duplication. Another advantage is that the pgbackrest binary does not need to be built for the test.
The backup, restore, and verify command tests have been updated to use the new shim for coverage.
getopt_long() requires an exhaustive list of all possible options that may be found on the command line. Because of the way options are indexed (e.g. repo1-4, pg1-8) optionList[] has 827 entries and we have kept it small by curtailing the maximum indexes very severely. Another issue is that getopt_long() scans the array sequentially so parsing gets slower as the index maximums increase.
Replace getopt_long() with a custom implementation that behaves the same but allows options to be parsed with a function instead of using optionList[]. This commit leaves the list in place in order to focus on the getopt_long() replacement, but cfgParseOption() could be replaced with a more efficient implementation that removes the need for optionList[].
This implementation also fixes an issue where invalid options were misreported in the error message if they only had one dash, e.g. -config. This seems to have been some kind of problem in getopt_long(), but no investigation was done since the new implementation fixes it.
Tests were added at 0825428, 2b8d2da, 34dd663, and 384f247 to check that previously untested getopt_long() behavior doesn't change.
Remove stanza archive spool path so existing files do not interfere with the new cluster. For instance, old archive-push acknowledgements could cause a new cluster to skip archiving. This should not happen if a new timeline is selected but better to be safe. Missing stanza spool paths are ignored.
Also add new path expression STORAGE_SPOOL_ARCHIVE to easily access this path.
When running on a GCE instance the authentication token can be pulled directly from the instance metadata. This is configured with repo-gcs-key-type=auto.
In a separate commit (26fefa6), move the code that parses the token response into a separate function, storageGcsAuthToken(), since it is now needed by two key types. This drastically improves the readability of the main commit.
927d9adb changed the way CATALOG_VERSION_NO is used to identify PostgreSQL versions since PG_CONTROL_VERSION is generally bumped with each release. The goal was to make the beta/rc period less painful because any CATALOG_VERSION_NO bump renders pgBackRest inoperative.
This worked, but in fact we'd rather be stricter about which CATALOG_VERSION_NO we accept when identifying a version of PostgreSQL. It is not just about identifying a major version, but making sure the build contains all the functions and catalogs we expect to make pgBackRest work correctly. It is better to reject early dev/beta/rc builds that may not work.
Since 927d9adb was relatively recent the chance that this stricter checking will cause a problem seems minimal, so revert to checking CATALOG_VERSION_NO for every PostgreSQL version.
Leave in place the code that pulls CATALOG_VERSION_NO from pg_control rather than the internal constant since the plan is still to allow catalog versions to "float" during the PostgreSQL beta/rc phase, which will be the subject of a future commit.
If an ok file (which indicates the WAL segment was not found) is present on the first iteration of the loop then remove it and spawn the async process to retry. This action also resets the queue.
Also error if no response is received from the async process rather than returning not found. PostgreSQL will respond the same either way, but this allows us to determine when something is going wrong with the async process.
Update archiveAsyncStatus() to allow warnings to be suppressed. It is better to retry if no WAL segment was found before warning because the warning might be stale.
Convert most of the remaining options that benefit from being StringIds. Since all the command modules can include config.h directly it makes sense to auto-generate these values instead of manually creating an enum for each one.
For the time being StringIds are not being auto-generated because the StringId code does not exist in Perl. However, the *_Z zero-terminated constants for each allowed option value are now auto-generated.
Allows removal of backupType()/backupTypeStr() and improves debug logging of the enum.
Move BackupType enum and string constants to info/infoBackup.h so they are available to more modules. Also convert InfoBackup to use BackupType instead of a String.
It is no longer possible to pull news source from the PostgreSQL website so add a sample in the doc directory. Update the release instructions to reflect this change.
Also note that it is no longer necessary to post separately to pgsql-announce.
Using StringId for the client/session type removes String constants and some awkward referencing/dereferencing needed to use a String constant in the interface.
Converting IoSessionRole to StringId removes a conditional in ioSessionToLog() and improves debug logging by outputting client/server instead of 0/1.
Centralize the formatting of the configuration value for display to the user or passing on a command line.
For the new functions, if the value was set by the user via the command line, config, etc., then that exact value will be displayed. This makes it easier for the user to recognize the value and saves having to format it into something reasonable, especially for time and size option types.
Note that cfgOptTypeHash and cfgOptTypeList option types are not supported by these functions, but they are generally not displayed to the user as a whole.
This also fixes a bug in config/load.c where time values where not being formatted correctly in an error message.
Use StringIds for the storage types (e.g. STORAGE_S3_TYPE) and configuration settings, e.g. cfgOptS3KeyType.
Also add new config functions and harness config functions to support StringIds.
There is no need to write the file atomically (e.g. via a temp file on Posix) because checksums are tested on resume after a failed backup. The path does not need be synced for each file because all paths are synced at the end of the backup.
This functionality was not lost during the migration -- it never existed in the Perl code, though these settings are used in restore. See 59f1353 where backupFile() was migrated to C.
Fix the segfault when getting help for an internal option is requested by adding help for all internal options that are valid for a default command role.
Also print warnings about internal options in code rather than putting in each command/option description.
The remotes are no longer needed in the main process after the manifest is loaded. If the restore is long enough the connection will timeout and WARN at the end of the restore. This is harmless for the restore but distracting for the user.
To prevent this, free the remotes once they are no longer needed.
Getting help for a valid option that was invalid for the command would segfault.
Add a check to ensure the option is valid for the command's default role.
It is often useful to represent identifiers as strings when they cannot easily be represented as an enum/integer, e.g. because they are distributed among a number of unrelated modules or need to be passed to remote processes. Strings are also more helpful in debugging since they can be recognized without cross-referencing the source. However, strings are awkward to work with in C since they cannot be directly used in switch statements leading to less efficient if-else structures.
A StringId encodes a short string into an integer so it can be used in switch statements but may also be readily converted back into a string for debugging purposes. StringIds may also be suitable for matching user input providing the strings are short enough.
This patch includes a sample of StringId usage by converting protocol commands to StringIds. There are many other possible use cases. To list a few:
* All "types" in storage, filters. IO , etc. These types are primarily for identification and debugging so they fit well with this model.
* MemContext names would work well as StringIds since these are entirely for debugging.
* Option values could be represented as StringIds which would mean we could remove the functions that convert strings to enums, e.g. CipherType.
* There are a number of places where enums need to be converted back to strings for logging/debugging purposes. An example is protocolParallelJobToConstZ. If ProtocolParallelJobState were defined as:
typedef enum
{
protocolParallelJobStatePending = STRID5("pend", ...),
protocolParallelJobStateRunning = STRID5("run", ...),
protocolParallelJobStateDone = STRID5("done", ...),
} ProtocolParallelJobState;
then protocolParallelJobToConstZ() could be replaced with strIdToZ(). This also applies to many enums that we don't covert to strings for logging, such as CipherMode.
As an example of usage, convert all protocol commands from strings to StringIds.
Restore excluding the specified databases. Databases excluded will be restored as sparse, zeroed files to save space but still allow PostgreSQL to perform recovery. After recovery, those databases will not be accessible but can be removed with the drop database command. The --db-exclude option can be passed multiple times to specify more than one database to exclude.
When used in combination with the --db-include option, --db-exclude will only apply to standard system databases (template0, template1, and postgres).
In combination with the thisPub() function, this macro simplifies accessing the public part of a private object struct.
thisPub() asserts this != NULL so the caller does not need to do it.
Introduce a standard pattern for exposing public struct members (as documented in CODING.md) and use it to inline lstSize() which should improve the performance of iterating large lists.
Since many functions in these modules are just thin wrappers of other functions, inline where appropriate.
Remove strLstExistsZ() and strLstInsertZ() since they were only used in tests, where the String version of the function is sufficient.
Move strLstNewSplitSizeZ() to command/help/help.c and remove strLstNewSplitSize(). This function has only ever been used by help and does not seem widely applicable.

The command-example and command-example-list elements were removed from the documentation rendering some time ago so these tags were dead code. The tags, however, contained some examples and information that were pertinent to the command, so where possible, the information was included in the description of the command and/or the user-guide and links to the relevant user guide sections were added.
Note that some commands could not be updated with user guide references since doing so would cause a cyclical reference in the user guide. These commands have an internal comment to indicate this.
In addition, some clarifications were added (e.g. expire --set option) where information was lacking.
Enabled by default, this option checks the WAL header against the PostgreSQL version and system identifier to ensure that the WAL is being copied to the correct stanza. This is in addition to checking pg_control against the stanza and verifying that WAL is being copied from the same PostgreSQL data directory where pg_control is located.
Therefore, disabling this check is fairly safe but should only be done when required, e.g. if the WAL is encrypted.
3b8f0ef missed some cases that could cause archive-push to fail:
* Checking archive info.
* Checking to see if a WAL segment already exists.
These cases are now handled so archive-push can succeed on any valid repos.
This improvement reduces the number of errors thrown; these errors will now be reported as a status for the stanza or repo as appropriate. Invalid option configurations are still thrown but all other errors are caught, formatted and reported. This was necessary for multiple repositories so that the command can complete gathering information from each repository and report the results rather than immediately aborting when an error occurs.
Two new error codes were introduced:
6 = requested backup not found
99 = other, which is used to indicate an error has occurred that requires more details to be provided
A new stanza name of "[invalid]" was created for instances where a stanza was not specified and no stanza can be found.
If there is only one repository configured the error will move up to the stanza level with the standard error formatting of 'error (message)' where the message will be "other" and the details of the error will be listed on the next line(s):
stanza: stanza1
status: error (other)
[CryptoError] unable to load info file '/var/lib/pgbackrest/repo/backup/stanza1/backup.info' or '/var/lib/pgbackrest/repo/backup/stanza1/backup.info.copy':

HINT: backup.info cannot be opened and is required to perform a backup.
HINT: has a stanza-create been performed?
HINT: use option --stanza if encryption settings are different for the stanza than the global
cipher: aes-256-cbc
If a backup set is requested but is not found on any repo, a stanza-level status error of 'requested backup not found' is reported when there are no other errors:
pgbackrest info --stanza=demo --set=bogus
stanza: demo
status: error (requested backup not found)
cipher: mixed
repo1: aes-256-cbc
repo2: none
If there are multiple repositories configured and a single repo is in error but the other repos are ok or have a different error:
pgbackrest info --stanza=demo --set=20210322-171211F
stanza: demo

The content-length header was being signed since it was the only header that didn't need to be and it seemed simpler just to sign it as well. Also, the S3 documentation encourages signing as many headers as possible to avoid tampering.
However, some proxies munge this header causing authentication failure, so skip signing content-length.
Make protocol handlers have one function per command. This allows the logic of finding the handler to be in ProtocolServer, isolates each command to a function, and removes the need to test the "not found" condition for each handler.
S3 returns 200 for HEAD / which indicates it is a file but does not return the expected headers which causes an error.
Rather than fix this for S3, just automatically return / as not existing for any storage that does not support paths.
Also add some defensive checks to prevent this from generating a segfault if it happens again.
Some standard system databases (e.g. postgres) may be recreated by the user and have an OID that makes them look like user databases.
Identify the standard three system databases (template0, template1, postgres) and restore them non-zeroed no matter what OID they have.
Recovery may error unless --type=immediate is specified. This is because after consistency is reached PostgreSQL will flag zeroed pages as errors even for a full-page write.
For PostgreSQL ≥ 13 the ignore_invalid_pages setting may be used to ignore invalid pages. In this case it is important to check the logs after recovery to ensure that no invalid pages were reported in the selected databases.
It is best if the archive-push and backup commands have the same compress-type (e.g. lz4) when using archive-copy. Otherwise, the WAL segments will need to be recompressed with the compress-type used by the backup, which can be fairly expensive depending on how much WAL was generated during the backup.
There was already leakage here but when the compression transcoding was added it became a deluge.
There is some argument to be made that the filters should clean themselves up better but a temp mem context makes sense here anyway so do that.
The stanza-create, stanza-upgrade and stanza-delete were required to be run on the repository host. When there was only one repository allowed this was not a problem.
However, with the introduction of multiple repository support, this becomes more of a burden to the user, therefore the stanza-create, stanza-upgrade and stanza-delete commands have been improved to allow for them to be run remotely.
Moving to YAML allows the configuration data to be read by C programs.
Also go back to using YAML::XS since it is the only implementation that has proper boolean support.
Up to four repositories may be configured. A potential benefit is the ability to have a local repository for fast restores and a remote repository for redundancy.
Some commands, e.g. stanza-create/stanza-update, will automatically work with all configured repositories while others, e.g. stanza-delete, will require a repository to be specified using the repo option. See the command reference for details on which commands require the repository to be specified.
Note that the repo option is not required when only repo1 is configured in order to maintain backward compatibility. However, the repo option is required when a single repo is configured as, e.g. repo2. This is to prevent command breakage if a new repository is added later.
The archive-push command will always push WAL to the archive in all configured repositories but backups will need to be scheduled individually for each repository. In many cases this is desirable since backup types and retention will vary by repository. Likewise, restores must specify a repository. It is generally better to specify a repository for restores that has low latency/cost even if that means more recovery time. Only restore testing can determine which repository will be most efficient.
For single repository configurations there should be no change in behavior.
The HTML command reference was showing some options that were not valid because it did not properly understand the new role validity system. Also, the custom section for the new repo option was not being honored.
This is a bit messy because it leads to some duplicated code in help.c but there doesn't seem to be any way to fix that with the Perl data structures as they are.
This code is being migrated to C so it doesn't seem worth messing with it too much with the risk of breaking other things.
Some commands (repo-*, verify) still required the --repo option but it makes sense to give them the same treatment as backup and simply use the first repo when one is not specified.
This leaves stanza-delete as the only remaining command that requires --repo. This is by design to enhance safe usage.
The following options are renamed as specified:
repo1-azure-ca-file -> repo1-storage-ca-file
repo1-azure-ca-path -> repo1-storage-ca-path
repo1-azure-host -> repo1-storage-host
repo1-azure-port -> repo1-storage-port
repo1-azure-verify-tls -> repo1-storage-verify-tls
repo1-s3-ca-file -> repo1-storage-ca-file
repo1-s3-ca-path -> repo1-storage-ca-path
repo1-s3-host -> repo1-storage-host
repo1-s3-port -> repo1-storage-port
repo1-s3-verify-tls -> repo1-storage-verify-tls
The old option names (e.g. repo1-s3-port) will continue to work for repo1, but repo2, etc. will require the new names.
The archive-push command will continue to push even after it gets a write error on one or more repos. The idea is to archive to as many repos as possible even we still need to throw an error to PostgreSQL to prevent it from removing the WAL file.
Add --with-confdir=DIR option to configure, which can be used to override the default configuration directory of /etc/pgbackrest.
Probably in the future it would be better to just leverage ${sysconfdir} which is based on prefix, but since previously the config directory was hard coded to /etc/pgbackrest, we retain that default value by not relying on sysconfdir for now.
The restore command automatically defaults to selecting the latest backup from a single repository. With multiple repositories configured, the restore command will now default to selecting the latest backup from the first repository where backups exist. The order in which the repositories are checked is dictated by the pgbackrest.conf order.
To select from a specific repository, the --repo option can be passed (e.g. --repo=1). The --set option can be passed if a backup other than the latest is desired.
Repositories will be searched in order for the requested archive file.
Errors will be reported as warnings as long as a valid copy of the archive file is found.
Errors are logged to the log file rather than thrown. If, after processing all repos, one or more errors occurred, then a single error error will be thrown to indicate there were errors and the log file should be inspected.
Also update log messages to be more consistent with new patterns.
Option warnings will cause the async process to fail because a warning is logged but stdout is closed so the process aborts.
This bug has existed for quite some time, but it was made worse by abb8ebe because now the async role can have different valid options than the default role. Previously at least a warning would be emitted before the async process died.
Fix this by only allowing warnings for the default role. Warnings were already suppressed for local and remote roles so the logic already exists.
The destination buffer on the stack was not large enough to contain the zero-terminating character.
Increase the buffer size and add an assertion to prevent regressions.
Found on arm64 running musl libc. Other architectures and glibc do not seem to be affected though it is clearly a bug.
The expire command has been enhanced to expire backups and archives from all configured repositories by default.
In addition, it will accept the --repo option to expire backups and archives only from the specified repository. Using the --repo options the --set option can also be refined further to the specified repo. If --set is provided but the --repo option has not, then all repositories will be searched and retention settings will be applied on each whether the backup set has been found or not.
Monospaced identifiers could end up running over if latex was not able to find a place to break the line. Using sloppypar forces breaks so monospaced identifiers don't run over or get broken up.

In preparation for multi-repo support, a repo tag is added in this commit to the expire command log and error messages. This change also affects the expect logs and the user-guide. The format of the tag is "repoX:" where X is the repo key used in the configuration.
Until multi-repo support has been completed, this tag will always be "repo1:".

At one time Minio had stability problems with latest but that appears to be resolved for the last year or so.
Use latest so we'll know if something breaks since Minio is frequently used in production.
This is phase 2 of verify command development (phase 1 was processing the archives and phase 3 will be reconciling the archives and backups). In this phase the backups are verified by verifying each file listed in the manifest for the backup and creating a result set with the list of invalid files, if any. A summary is then rendered.
Unit tests have been added and duplicate tests have been removed.
The info command provides total sizes for files in the backup on the database as well as the repository. The text output and associated user documentation has been updated to provide more clarity regarding the sizes being displayed.
In addition, the info command is updated to allow a user to optionally specify the repository when requesting a specific backup set. In this case, the text output will reflect the status of the stanza, the cipher types and archive min/max over all the repositories instead of a single repository when the repo option is specified.
YAML::XS requires libyaml so it not as portable as pure Perl versions of YAML.
Instead of using YAML:PP just use the general YAML::Any module which uses whatever is installed. We are not concerned about performance for YAML so whatever works is fine.
This is a more appropriate place for the check and means test.pl can avoid loading any XML files if --no-gen is specified.
The XML::Checker::Parser module originally selected for XML in Perl is not very portable so the requirement reduces the number of platforms where tests can be run.
